WWE Live Rapid City, South Dakota.

[jagilki]

Just got home.  Have swiss cheese memory though.

Show started with some lady (no idea who) Hosting.  Before the show would start there was a poll for what Mania match we'd get to see.  HHH/Roman, Shane/Taker or Brock/Ambrose.  Shane/Taker won.  They showed the video of the match.  Yippy.

Baron Corbin on the screen saying something about beating up Dolph tonight.  Couldn't hear too well.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin.

Rapid City is a Mark Mecca.  They loved Dolph and hated Corbin.  Decent basic back and forth match.  Dolph won.  Post match Dolph ran into the crowd, hucked some kids ran around the barricade area high fiving all the fans.

Anderson and Gallows vs. Mark Henry and Darrin Young.

Once more fans loved the faces hated the heels. Really basic match.  Gallows wanted Henry in the ring, Gallows and Anderson beat down Henry for a lot of the match, Darren Young hot tag, bunch of double teaming.

Gallows/Anderson win.  Can't remember the exact sequence but Henry got shot into the ringpost outside the ring before the double team finish.

Kevin Owens on the Screen says he's going to beat the crap out of AJ tonight and do it in a hurry so he can get the hell out of Rapid City.

Titus O'Neal vs. Fandango.

Nothing special here.  Titus was over.  Fans tried Fandagoing, but it didn't last.  Really short match.

(Here some of the matches may be out of order, remember swiss cheese memory)

Sammi Zayne vs. Stardust.

Sammi chants became Cody chants.  Stardust played it great.  Throwing a temper tantrum about it.  Really good match. 

Sammi Wins  Stardust laid in the ring for a while after the match then acted incredulous that he lost.

Owens vs. AJ.  Owens was the only heel to semi have the crowd behind him, and it was very low.  AJ had the fans.  Little girl, real little in front of me broke down crying because Owens was being mean to AJ.

Owens kept leaving the ring and stalling, then yelled at a fan, then stole a sign from a kid and ripped it up.  Later he went back and picked up the ripped up pieces and ripped them up a second time.

At one point Owens got a Mic while AJ was down and went on a tirade against the fans.  Pointing out the heavy ones and asking them why they call HIM fat.  Asked one fan why he wanted him to take his shirt off, said the fan didn't pay enough to see him topless.

AJ eventually wins with the Phenominal Forearm.

Intermission

Charlotte vs. Nattie Womens title.

Nattie was surprisingly like the second or third most loved person on the show.  The crowd was nuts for her.  Charlotte eventually wins with the dreaded roll up and feet on the ropes.

Big Cas comes out.  Says he's sorry Enzo can't be here because he hurt his head.  Fans started chanting How you Doing.  In a pause of the chanting Cas said "Just fine thanks".  Said he only has one word for whoever his opponent is and that's S A W

One of the Mattadores attacks him from behind.  Cas kicks his ass to the ring, throws him in, Big Boot Pin.

Cas finishes spelling Sawft.

Miz and Myrese come out.  French stuff, Miz claims he's the sexiest man ever.  Bla Bla Bla, kiss kiss.  Cesaro. 

Really good match.  Miz eventually wins due to Myrese shenanigans.  Post match Cesaro celebrates, Miz re-enters the ring to attack Cesaro with the belt, but Cesaro stops him, Spins him then hits the Neutralizer.

Main Event

Sheamus vs. Roman.  Roman got massive cheers.  This city loved him.

Weird but kind of cool seeing Roman being cheered and playing up to it.  Actually made the match surprisingly better.  Was fairly short though.  Superman Punch, Spear, Pin.

Two hour drive home.
